Israel and Sudan will begin cooperation efforts on a number of issues including the COVID-19 pandemic, water technology and agriculture," Israel's Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan said on Wednesday.

"First historic meeting with Sudan's UN Mission and Ambassador Omer Siddig!," wrote Erdan in a Twitter post following a meeting with his Sudanese counterpart.

"To translate peace between our nations into action, we will begin cooperating in agriculture, water, and our common fight against coronavirus. I feel honored to represent Israel during this period."

The meeting comes ahead of an Israeli delegation's scheduled visit to Sudan on Sunday.

Sudan is the third Arab-majority country agree to normalize relations with Israel in the past year and is slated to follow the UAE and Bahrain in signing a historic peace treaty with the Jewish state.

Known as the Abraham Accords, the UAE and Bahrain both signed normalization deals with Israel during a White House ceremony on September 15.

Israel media sources earlier on Thursday reported that the three new allies will form a new front to push the United Nations to designate Lebanese fundamentalist group Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.

In an interview with Israel Hayom, Yehoshua Zarka, deputy director for strategic affairs at the Foreign Ministry, said that the "[joint] action is planned to this end with certain capitals and international institutions."

Multiple states, including the US, EU and Canada, have designated the military arm of Hezbollah as a terrorist group while viewing its political wing as legitimate, an approach mocked by the group itself, which views the two components as inseparable.
